I have found that MandrivaLE is just so flakey that I have stopped using it now, first I had network problems now it won't start X automatically, grrrrrrrr and I had to turn off apci cos it didn't like my nvidia mobo.
So now I have Debian sitting here chugging away, mmmm bliss
peace

Ditto with Mandrake about 3 years ago, I moved to RedHat, then SUSE an now Fedora, nothing seems to sway me from that. Which reminds me, sever 8, our oldest server in the racks crashed the other day with an uptime of over 700 days!
